One thing to keep in mind is that the union could opt to cover all medical expenses under their union fees and dues. All wrestlers who join would be required to give the union a percentage of their sometimes meger pay. This is where things get rough due to the imbalance of pay between companies. A person would gamble on themselves when joining initially.

In turn it will also be harder to get guys with huge imbalances of income compared to their coworkers to join the union and essentially safety net the more impoverished.

I absolutely get why they do but it does really suck as a viewer just how much say Mattel has over what WWE does because at least for me, and I imagine the vast majority of viewers, I don't give a flying f*** about the toys and am never going to. Realities of business and all but as a viewer it does feel like it's just some irrelevant side bullshit that routinely drags down the quality of the actual show. As someone who collects toys for various other fandoms and has a slight fascination with how toy marketing changes the stories of the shows made to advertise them and whose main investment in the MCU is "how many obscure characters will get toys because of it?"....caring about the toys doesn't make their influence any more palatable.

I bought a Mandy Rose for my five year old cousin and he started crying because she's the lady who does dick ratings and then I was banned from Christmas forever

Transcript of the NXT meeting:
Prince Albert Tensai: Shawn you won’t believe this! I was googling around and found out that Mandy has a subscription service where she posts sexual content! I accidentally put my credit card info in and yep, she certainly does! Then I accidentally tipped her $500 three times and kept getting new stuff!
HBK Lovejoy: what about the children? Won’t someone think of the children!?
Booker T: aw shucky ducky quack quack give me that link, Albert!

I bought a Mandy Rose for my five year old cousin and he started crying because she's the lady who does dick ratings and then I was banned from Christmas forever I'd say I bought a Tino Sabbatelli figure for my cousin, but that's a lie because no one would ever buy a Tino Sabbatelli figure.

Much like Sabbatelli's punches, it had to look like dookie.

Yea, pretty much this. If she was an employee and part of a union then this would be a diff talk because unions will fight for your job whether you are right or wrong as that is their job. Look at the Deshaun Watson situation in the NFL and how that has played out If wrestlers banded together and really got the Union they need, they would have the industry in a death grip. Be able to negotiate how much they make off revenue, health care, etc The part I wonder about is, would insurance companies be willing to insure the talent in an industry where injury is practically guaranteed? Good question. Don't stunt performers have unions? I'm sure there may be some precedent for hazardous occupations for this one.

Problem with the figure is: It runs right back to the shop you bought it from to tell them how your cousin's playroom looks like. It's possessed by the spirit of a serial choke artist.

It doesn't look like she put up anything close to pornographic. I don't see the big deal here but oh well.

I....what? HBK has been in charge of the show where Mandy and Toxic Attraction's sexiness was amped up to 11 and made a central part of their presentation. She even did Shawn's infamous playgirl pose with her titles. There was no issue with her being racy in all that time. On a show that has more eyeballs on Mandy than her site does. Why is it suddenly an issue now?

It also sucks to see Giant Bernard become a run-of-the-mill stooge.
